Game of Thrones" actress Natalie Dormer has warned women to "stop slagging off feminism" and start appreciating how equality has changed in the past 200 years. The actress said she thinks people will be shocked by her new period drama TV movie "The Scandalous Lady W" because it shows how women were treated 200 years ago, making people realise the importance of the feminist movement.

"I think this will be the biggest hurdle for a modern audience to get over that women in the 18th century were their husbands' property.

"I mean, only 230 years ago in this country, a woman was the property of her husband. That's something women in their 20s should consider when slagging off 'feminism' on Twitter.
